Hi fatduck I know exactly how you feel. I am having mine done on the 26th June and I am eating things I would never normally eat. I Dont understand it. Yesterday I ate a full bag of chocolate covered raisins, I dont even like bl!!!dy raisins. It must be a physcological thing. Anyone else do the same before banding?:smile:

I thought ecfs only went to Edinburgh in Scotland I didnt know they came to Glasgow, thought it was just wls? Where in Glasgow are they.:thumbup:

Thanks wishful but bobobaldy has given me the dates for wls clinic and they dont coincide with my plans. Will have to see when Dr Chris is in Edinburgh. Does anyone know the times of his clinics?:thumbup:

Thanks for the quick reply. These dates dont fit in with my plans as it will only be three weeks past my op for the july one and I am going on holiday middle of August. Anyone know what dates Dr Chris is in Edinburgh.:thumbup:

Hey odge, I am getting banded on the 26th June. Do you think I will have my first fill before I go to Florida on the16th August? I was kinda hopin I had timed it right. Also does anyone know the times and days of CDB Clinics in Edinburgh for fills and also the wls clinics in Glasgow? I think I will have my first fill with Dr Chris then see about the wls package?:crying:

You should put a ticker up to show all how much weight your losing. You have done so well:rolleyes2:

Good luck Tanyac and hurry back to tell us all how easy it was. There is no point in telling you not to worry as its human nature but you are doing this for you and your future. Also good luck to Richardson and anyone else whos been banded this week. Cheers:wink:

Hi the email address is frederik.serneels@ecfs.be hope this helps. Gary you look great the holiday seems to have done you good!! Penny I also felt like that especially after paying the deposit and flights, but like Gary says you know its the way to go. J x:smile2:

Maybe youll be goin same time as me and timeisnow and also devonpilgrim. All going on the 25th, banded on 26th. J x:thumbup:

Good luck to all the people going for their bands this week. keep us posted. Jx

Hi Adagiodiva this doesnt seem right to me. To book directly I used the email frederik.serneels@ecfs.be with the title new enquiry. He got back to me quite quickly i.e a day or two and I was booked up within the week. I know they have the last 3 weeks off in July so if you are wanting it done quite quickly I would email right away. I also think some peeps on here have Dr. Chris's mobile no. Good luck. J x

Thanks wishful its good to know I am not alone. nzniki44 I am getting banded around 5wks time do you really feel that sore!! Why were you getting stared at on the way home? J x

Yes Freckles dont we know how easy it is to put it back on.:tongue_smilie:Timeisnow I cant believe Im actually doing this. Is there times when your apprehensive, not about the band but the operation itself. Sometimes Im waking up in the middle of the night and thinking about this and at the moment its in the forefront of my mind all the time. I am bombarding my hubby about details of this. I think he will be bored with me by the time the operation comes around. I must not be a band bore, but its so hard to talk of anything else at the moment. J x:tt2:

Just had my confirmation from Frederik saying he has now recieved my deposit. Wow!! really happening now. Tee-bird really sorry I cant help you not been banded yet. But why dont you pm freckles I think she had something similar. Hope you feel better soon. J x

Hi time is now I got 1.13 euro to the pound which is a few euros more than normal exchange but mounts up when you are talking thousands. You order from them online or over the phone but theres a catch for getting that rate you have to pay in advance and the money gets sent to you by courier. I paid today but will not get my euros until 22nd june. I havent got online banking so just oredered over the phone, Crown then send you an email with all their bank details which you then take to your bank and ask them to transfer the cash to theirs. This doesnt cost anything. I did this in my bank at 2.30 today and got an email at 3 with receipt and details of my transaction from Crown. If you want the money by 23rd June the last day to get this rate is tomorrow I think. Its not that I am well organised its just I havent told my boys twins of 19, and 21year old so I have to organise when I can without them seeing too much. They think I am going to Brussels for the weekend. J x

Thanks for info Gillian. Jx

Hi all I was wondering what size of sterile pads do we need for our wounds after the op and will I have to take some with me. Are you allowed to shower? Used Crown currency today and ordered my euros for the op this saved me around £80, every penny counts. Cheers J x

galaxy101 I to was going with healthier weight and was also quoted 7k for band but after hearing all the good things about Dr Debruyne I changed my mind. I have been researching this for around 10 months and I am now booked with Chris in Belgium on the 26th of June. Oh and the price helps as well. j

Yes Sammy77 I have been there and probably spent double the cost of the band and joining fees etc over the years. I have lost 64lb with them but Ihave put on 70lb 5years later which is soul destroying. So I know I have made the right decision. Glad your band is working well for you. J x

Gary can you shed any light on timeisnow question about online check in and taking hold luggage. Would appreciate any info you could give. Cheers J x

:cursing:No they know I wont change my mind but I am thinking they are thinking (if you know what I mean), hell if she gets thin with this band then we are going to show her we can get thin the NATURAL WAY. Maybe I am paranoid but I dont think so. J x

Hi after telling you guys I was not telling anyone about being banded I had to tell my sister because of work issues. Anyway found out tonight her and my mother joined weight watchers and I am thinking is this a coincedence or is it because I am being banded? I spoke to sis on the phone tonight and she didnt even mention she was joining weight watchers but later on mum phoned me and told me they had both joined. Is something competitive going on here or is it just me!!! Jx

mmm I have looked at Crown Currency and their rates are much better than the ones I have found. Do you pay for euros through your bank card and I know you have used them are they pretty safe. I also need a lot of dollars as well. j x

Timeisnow I think there is a bag drop place at airport I have been told this from the person I booked tickets from but not too sure as I haven't recieved my confirmation yet. (booked through my bank as I get discount on travel) I will post any info I get once I recieve it. TanyaC I think the week before my op 26/06/09 will drag as well its the idea you know whats in front of you (kinda like going for a filling) fills you with dread but you know it will benefit you in the long run. I am sure the weeks will fly in and before you know it you'll be going for your fills and comparing your weight loss with all the others on this site. My bmi is just over 35, so I was wondering when I should start my pre op diet. I dont want to lose too much ( I should be so Lucky!) incase anything said about having a bmi under 35, anyone any ideas. J x
